Check the cause
Inspect CAN bus connectors and wiring harness leading to the front axle suspension components for corrosion or moisture intrusion.
Check the electronics voltage supply to verify that the A002/A050 E-box is supplying the correct basic signal voltage (measure at pin 1 and pin 2).
Verify if the B003 front axle suspension position sensor has lost calibration.
Repair steps
Resolve Wiring/Connection Issues
Clean any corroded pins on the CAN bus connectors and ensure the wiring harness between the front axle suspension and the A002/A050 ECU is intact.
Perform EOL Programming
Connect the tractor to the FENDIAS / Fendt-EST diagnostic software and re-flash/reprogram the A002/A050 control unit.
Calibrate the Suspension
If the B003 position sensor was replaced or the ECU was reprogrammed, you must recalibrate the front axle suspension by entering calibration code 7666 in the diagnostic system.
Clear Codes
Clear the diagnostic memory and test the tractor to ensure the front axle suspension raises and lowers correctly without triggering the intermittent audible warning signal.
